1. In Mario Bros. 3, make it to the final level. In play, you can't seem to dodge all of the smiling bullets and cannon balls but you get further each time. You are up to your last life, it has a picture of Mario and next to it it says 1x, and you get to the end and you die. BUT, you have now discovered that you still have one more life! This is the Zero Life, when all hope was lost, it says next to your character 0x, thus you are able to try once more.
